Tide Line Thames: Paintings

My Tide Line Thames project took as its subject matter the shifting riverscape and its architectural structures between the river's high and low tide lines. The two year project was funded by Arts Council England.

I exhibited the project's first phase – of photographs, paintings, digital scrolls and projections – at The Gallery, Thames-Side Studios, for the 2016 Totally Thames Festival

For the 2017 Festival, Tom Pearman and I created a collaborative video installation for the Thames Tunnel Shaft of the Brunel Museum. It merged my video footage of the river and its architecture with Tom's animations of faux tunneling forms, inspired by Brunel's Tunnel and Tunnel Shaft.

Tropical Thames / Crossrail Place Roof Garden

Tropical Thames, my installation of large-scale digital prints on aluminium panels, was created specifically for the Crossrail Place Roof Garden. The imagery was inspired by Thames architectural structures in southeast London – docks, piers and river walls – that were shaped by centuries of shipping and trade.

Tropical Thames also responded to the Garden's dramatic roof structure (designed by Foster and Partners) and to its plantings, some of which were species that first entered Britain through Thames docks.

Designing prints for Tropical Thames involved some time travel, to London’s trading past and to its potential future. In making this work, I thought about the urgent issue of climate change and what the effects of rising temperatures and sea levels could mean for the tidal river. Tropical Thames might be a beautiful nightmare.

A Weathered Space

I received an Artists International Development Fund Grant to research traditional textiles in India, where I traveled in 2014. I was an Artist-in-Residence at the Sanskriti Foundation in Delhi. My research encompassed visits to artisans in Rajasthan and textile collections at Sanskriti and other Delhi museums.

I loved seeing Phulkari embroideries from Punjab in the collection of the Delhi Craft Museum. The diagonal grids, diamond patterns and brilliant marigolds and reds that characterize these embroideries inspired my Phulkari acrylics on Khadi papers and panel.

Tide Line Composites

I projectedmy photos of Thames architecture onto the surfaces of my Tide LineThames paintings and photographed the resulting hybrid images. The Composites are comprised of cropped excerpts from this fusion of painting, photography and projection.

The Tide Line Composites were exhibited as projections in the 2017 London Creative Network Showcase at Space Studios London.

From Absorb to Zoom: An Alphabet of Actions in the Women's Art Library

Research underpins much of my recent practice and I have made installations in response to archived collections in the US, the UK and India. Doing so gives me the chance to engage with new visual content and create work that "left to my own devices" I never would make.

From Absorb to Zoom / An Alphabet of Actions in the Women’s Art Library, my first project with a UK archive, was funded by Arts Council England.

The Women’s Art Library started in the late 1970's as an artist-led initiative to enhance knowledge of the practice and achievement of women in the visual arts. Curated by Althea Greenan, it contains unique documentation of women artists’ works and is now a Special Collection in the Library of Goldsmiths University of London.

I created a site-specific digital print installation with content derived from print materials in the archive. From Absorb to Zoom was exhibited at Goldsmiths University of London in 2015.

Works shown are unique archival pigment prints on Hannemuhle German etching paper.

As part of the project I created The Virtual Archive, on which I updated the work of 17 artists with documentation in the Women's Art Library.

Anne Krinsky Tide Line Thames: Photographs

My Tide Line Thames project took as its subject matter the shifting riverscape and its architectural structures between the river's high and low tide lines. The two year project was funded by Arts Council England.

I began the project by taking hundreds of photographs of the river and its architecture, from which subsequent works in other media derived. I exhibited the project's first phase – of photographs, paintings, digital scrolls and projections – at The Gallery, Thames-Side Studios, for the 2016 Totally Thames Festival

For the 2017 Festival, Tom Pearman and I created a collaborative video installation for the Thames Tunnel Shaft of the Brunel Museum. It merged my video footage of the river and its architecture with Tom's animations of faux tunneling forms, inspired by Brunel's Tunnel and Tunnel Shaft.
